Answer:

p - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime number is a number that only has 2 factors, 1 and the number itself. Therefore, multiplying p by 2 or 7 means giving the number more than 2 factors, which would make the number no longer prime. Squaring the prime number itself does the same.

Let p = 7.

2p = 2*7 = 14                  14 = 1*2*7*14

7p = 7*7 = 49                 49 = 1*7*49

p - 4 = 7 - 4 = 3              3 = 1*3

p^2 = 7^2 = 49               49 = 1*7*49
